I taste and smell cooking oils as they can become rancid fairly quickly and yet still look fine. Upon receipt since it had been a warm week, I opened one can to taste and smell and it was very fresh and seemed a high quality product. It is handcrafted in the EU and certified organic by the CA certified organic farmers and owned by a French company. I like having the small containers vs. a 32 oz. bottle and the metal protection against light and plastic BPA. I mostly use organic olive, hemp, and coconut oils, but needed a constant non-hardening relatively tasteless, inexpensive organic oil for baking. I will store them in a cool area to prevent them becoming rancid and of course refrigerate the opened container. This brand has so many choices that I will try some of their nut oils for salad dressings and baking.

I have already used a can of this oil. Part of the joy of this purchase is the attractive can. The other part is that it doesn't last very long. I would say it is just okay, nice to have the oil that is organic but I think I would probably prefer olive or walnut to canolam I am also going to try the coconut oil, with all the good things said about the medium chain saturated fats it is of interest to me. I give the canola oil four stars only for that reason. It is a good product. One of the cans was dented though.
